Bear is a 2-year-old Lhasa Apso in Pickerington, OH, who needs $1,080 for Cytology .

Bear came into mine and my daughters life in January of this year. We found him on Craigslist after a year of looking for the perfect fit for our family. It’s just me and my 9 year old daughter so Bear made our family complete. When the pandemic started we realized how Incredibly lucky we were to have him. He helped with my depression by giving me so much love everyday. He was meant to be with us

Bear likes to sit in our windowsill because he is always in protection mode. He’s very human like in his actions. When he’s sick he lays in the bathtub because he knows that is where I go when I’m sick. If he’s upset or jealous he lets me know by giving me sad eyes 👀. He loves to play fetch and gets really silly when he’s playing.

I lost my job due to COVID and can’t find new work because I’m a single mom and my 9 year old daughter has school from home and obviously can’t leave her alone. I’m usually prepared for anything but losing my job and depending on our government for help makes me feel helples

My daughter and I were driving cross country with our dog Bear. When we were in Nevada at lake Mead Bear was on a house boat while we swam at a cove a short distance away. During this time he hurt his nose and top of his ears somehow. I have no idea what happened but knew he was hurt. We took him to the vet nearby and did what we could until we got home. Now that we are home we took him to a vet.

Bear loves to chase! He chases cats all the time but would never hurt them. He’s a big flirt and gets all the dogs to play with him. He’s a handsome gentleman. I’ve never felt the love of a dog like this before. I’m his person and it’s an amazing feeling. Asking for help isn’t something I’m good at and I feel bad because I know how many people are in the same situation.
